waters in the summer of 1881. (See Kolom., 

 "Fische,"p. 56.) 



Fam. ScylliiDjE. 



Gen. Scyllium. 



354. SCYLLIUM ACANTHOMOTUM, 



De Fil. 

 Dr. Gunther considers this a foetal example of 



S. stellare, or canicula. 

 Habit. One specimen, one decimetre long, 



found in the market at Spalato, March 30, 



1882.— Steindachner. (See Kolombatovic, 



"Fische," p. 56.) 



Fam. AdPENSERIDiE. 



Gen. Acipenser. 



355. ACLPENSER STELLA TUS, Pall. 

 Habit. A specimen is in the Museum at Trieste, 



caught in the waters of Zara ; hence it may 

 be presumed that it inhabits the rivers of 

 Dalmatia. (^Perugia's " Elenco," No. 211.) 



Fam. Percid^e. 



Gen. Serranus. 



356. SERRANUS ACUTLROSTRLS, 



C. & V. 



Habit. A single specimen from the Istrian 

 coast ; not uncommon at Taranto. (See 

 Perugia's " Elenco," No. 7, and Plate I.) 



Gen. Dentex. 



357. DENTEX ELLOSUS, Va. 



Habit. Steindachner found a specimen at 

 Spalato, December 7, 1881, and the fisher- 

 men say that it is not the first time this species 

 has been caught there. (See Kolom., 

 "Fische," p. n.) 



Note. Hitherto not mentioned in the Adriatic, 

 nor by Canestrini in Italian waters ; Doder- 

 lein found two specimens at Palermo. 



358. DENTEX MACRORHTHALMUS, 



C. & V. 



Habit. Not uncommon at Spalato in autumn 

 and winter ; probably to be found in other 

 waters too ; is easily overlooked by its 

 outward resemblance to Pagellus erythrinus. 

 Risso found it at Nice, Canestrini at Genoa, 

 so it is probably common to the Mediter- 

 ranean. (See Kolom., "Fische," p. 12.) 



Fam. Sparid^e. 



Gen. Sargus. 



359. SARGUS VETULA, C. & V.

Croat. Pagar prljas (Spalato).

 Kolombatovic in the fish-market at Spalato 

 in 1873, and one specimen caught in Cattaro 

 waters by the Italian cutter " Violante " in 

 September, 1880. (See "Pesci delle Acque 

 di Spalato" by Professor G. Kolombatovic, 

 Spalato, 1 88 1.) 



Gen. Pagellus. 



361. PAGELLUS ACARNE, C. & V. 

 The Axillary Bream. 



Croat., Grbic (Spa la to).
